when i learned fractions in school, i learned 1/4 as "one-fourth," not "one quarter." and i was a lot older than this kid seems to be, so i give him credit for not saying "one four" like i probably would have at his age.

In one of the Ramona books I learned that "one quarter" is dangerous, foul evil. She has to leave the house at a quarter till/after (can't remember) and figures that since a quarter in money is twenty-five cents, a quarter in time is twenty-five minutes. When I first read this, I'd already developed a certain animosity towards numbers and Ramona's tribulation only cemented it. Fractions are the devil's plaything.
